Memberships - How They Work and How To Set It Up
What are Memberships?
With Pensight Memberships you can launch a subscription or lifetime access based community with a private content feed. It's a great replacement for Patreon or similar exclusive content service. Patreon charges you over 10% for each subscription, while on Pensight you get to keep 97% of the membership revenue.
When you create a membership, people will be able to subscribe to it by paying a recurring subscription membership fee or a lifetime membership fee.
Subscription fees are automatically collected at the beginning of the subscription period. You can set the subscription to be monthly, weekly, every two weeks, or yearly. If your client misses a payment due to insufficient funds or an expired card we send them 3 automatic reminders and then notify you about the missed payments where you can decide what to do, and can remove the person from the membership, if you like.
Posting in the Membership
Once you publish the membership product you can start creating posts in the membership feed. Your posts can be short and sweet or you can create long posts that can contain multiple images, videos, files, and audio. Each post can be marked as members-only, or public. Public posts will be visible for anyone who clicks on the membership product on your page, while private post contents will be blurred and only revealed for paid members.
Members will be automatically notified about new posts via an email notification.
You can also allow your community members to post in the membership feed or in certain post categories.
Post Categories
Inside the membership you can create up to 10 different post categories that will act as filters in the feed. Categories can give structure to your feed and make it easy to browse at any time.
You can also decide if you want your members to be able to post in certain categories or keep posting exclusive to you.
Membership Post Comments and Likes
With each post you can select if you want to enable comments for each post. You and your members will be able to chat in the comments and use the memberships feed as a community tool.
Likes are always available on all membership posts and comments.
Can I combine Membership with other products?
If you want to offer extra perks to your members, for example a monthly 1:1 call, there are 2 options:
- Post an exclusive discount code in that your members can use when booking you via a paid public 1:1 Session that you have on your page.
- Create a private free 1:1 Session products and post it for the members to book you for free
You can use similar strategy for offering access to any other product.
